Former Kogi West Senator, Dino Melaye on Monday said justice has been served in his case against the Nigerian government, after six years.
Melaye said the court has acquitted him of 12 cases filed
against him by the Nigerian government.
Posting on X, Melaye wrote: “Justice served after 6 years.
Justice delayed is never Justice denied. God alone be praised. Sen Dino Melaye
12- Federal Government and IGP 0. EN. 12 cases all won by God. PROF MIKE
OZEKHOME AND RICKY TAFA THANK YOU. NO RETREAT NO SURRENDER.”
Justice Sylvanus Oriji of the Federal Capital High Court in
Maitama has cleared Melaye of two charges of providing false information
concerning an alleged assassination attempt on his life in 2017.
This legal saga began in February 2018 when Melaye faced
accusations of falsely implicating Edward Onoja, the then Chief of Staff to
Kogi State Governor Yahaya Bello, in the alleged assassination plot.
The initial case regarding the alleged assassination attempt
saw delays, including the passing of Justice Aromeh Benson Akogu, the judge
overseeing the matter, during a cross-over service on December 31, 2017.
The Office of the Attorney General formally charged Melaye
on January 31, 2018, claiming his allegations were unfounded, stemming from an
investigation into the supposed assassination attempt at his hometown in
Ayetoro-Gbede, Kogi State.
He pleaded not guilty on March 1, 2018.
Again, in July 2018, Melaye accused the Kogi State Police
Command of attempting to kill him.
He made this accusation in response to claims that his security
details had shot at policemen conducting ‘stop and search’ operations in Mopa.
In March 2019, Melaye again alleged a conspiracy against his
life by the Kogi State government, which the state authorities denied.
